Gov. Kim Reynolds introduced the controversial bill earlier this month. The legislation would add new definitions of man and woman to state law, as well as require changes to birth certificates and government collection of data.
The bill has drawn widespread condemnation from LGBTQ+ rights advocacy groups, who branded it as "erasure" of transgender and nonbinary people and a violation of privacy.
Republicans fast-tracked Reynolds' proposal last week, advancing it through subcommittee and committee hearings over the course of an afternoon over the objections of Democrats and advocates.
